As a licensed medical doctor and practicing psychiatrist, I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of mental conditions. As an osteopathic physician, my philosophy incorporates a complete integration of the mind and the body. For instance, my training both in psychopharmacology (medication) and psychotherapy (talk therapy), helps me incorporate both treatment modalities in my practice. This approach also relates to work I do in public mental health where I am also a consulting psychiatrist for ThriveNYC – Mental Health Service Corps. Prior to joining MHSC, I was providing mental health care to the homeless, severely mentally ill and LGBTQ+ at risk youth.

An accurate diagnosis starts with a thorough and thoughtful analysis of everything that might contribute to the well being of the individual. Working in an integrated approach, I pay careful attention to an individual’s mental state, as well as their physical health, genetic history and analysis of their upbringing, family life, socio-cultural factors – all of which can bring on certain feelings and symptoms which I work through, collaborating with my patients in session.

My education began in neurobiology and behavior at Cornell University. I received my medical degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, and completed my fellowship training in Public Psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center after finishing four years of adult psychiatry residency.

On a personal note, my passion for art, design, and music leads me around the city and around the world.
